- WEATHER FORECASTING
- DISEASE MODELS
- IRRIGATION AUTOMATION
- WORKFORCE PLANNING
KEY BENEFITS
- By the use of crop evapotranspiration better plan the irrigation, save water, money and time.
- Helps prevent animal health problems that occur in houses with nonstandard climatic conditions.
- Plant disease model calculation to improve plant protection and prevent crop losses.
- Work planning on farms – it saves time and makes farming even more efficient.
LoRATH is a new generation of weather stations that operate on LoRaWAN® or NBIoT network. It can be connected to any existing LoRaWAN® or NBIoT network, if present at your location.
LoRATH measures air temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture. All the data is synchronized with FieldClimate.
PRODUCT VARIATIONS
Communication: Both product variations exist in LoRaWAN® and NBIoT versions.

This is what you can do:
• Plan the work week based on a localised weather forecast for your operations site
• Plan your work day based on the actual rain and temperature data and the daily weather forecast for your field
• Plan your spray program based on disease models and prediction and check the quality of spray work online
• Plan your irrigation based on ET-crop and predicted plant water use
• Bring data directly into your management software and Operations Center via automatic interface
LoRATH IS DESIGNED TO BE EASILY CONNECTED TO AN EXISTING LoRaWAN® NETWORK. FOR REMOTE SITUATIONS WITHOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF A COMMERCIALLY OPERATED LoRaWAN® NETWORK PESSL INSTRUMENTS PARTNERS WILL SUPPORT YOU WITH A FARM BASED LoRaWAN® NETWORK WHICH ENABLES YOU TO INSTALL ALL AVAILABLE LoRa® SENSORS – FROM PESSL INSTRUMENTS OR OTHER VENDORS.
BY USING THE PROPRIETARY INTELLIGENT SENSOR HANDLING, THE LoRATH PROVIDES VALUES OF:
• Leaf wetness for disease forecast,
• VPD and Delta T for defining best weather for spraying (spray window),
• Dew point for frost prediction.

Measurement, logging and transmission intervals can be set differently to fit the client’s needs.
Measurement interval: occurrence, when the station measures the attached sensors
Logging interval: occurrence, when the station calculates the minimum, maximum and average values of all measurements which happened in this logging interval
Transmission interval: occurrence, when the station transmits the stored data from the logging interval to the FieldClimate.
Logging and transmission intervals for LoRaWAN communication-based products are the same.
